This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who worked with or near something that was broken or cracked, such as a blacksmith or a builder.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Lomakin can be found in the Novgorod Chronicles, which date back to the 12th century. These chronicles were a series of annals written by monks and scribes, documenting the history of the Novgorod Republic.

In the 14th century, a man named Ivan Lomakin is mentioned in the Veliky Ustyug Chronicles, which recorded the history of the town of Veliky Ustyug in the northern part of Russia. This suggests that the name had spread beyond the Novgorod region by this point.
